Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

Kitazumi Minoru didn't tease the little girl Ayumi Adachi all the time.

After all, children have a bit of a childlike spirit and don't like to admit defeat.

I have never competed with other sub-contractors, so it is natural that I am a little unconvinced.

Kitaki Minoru did not mention the award again.

Then he asked the other party why he came to find him.

Then--

"War letter?"

Listening to Ayumi Adachi's words in front of her, Kitazumi was stunned for a moment.

Mainly because this topic is a bit too out of the ordinary.

"How do you want to compare?"

he asked.

“Let’s use the box office of the next movie to decide the winner!”

Adachi Ayumi's temper comes and goes quickly.

I just heard that Beicheng Minoru was willing to compete with me.

Her cheeks, which had been puffed up with anger just now, instantly relaxed.

"I remember that your next movie, Kitacumi, will be "Swordsman", right? My next movie "Tobashi Samurai and His Daughter" will also be a Japanese period film, and it will be of the same type as your "Swordsman"! Use the box office of these two movies to compete!”

"You are the main protagonist of "The Samurai and the Daughter of Tokawa"?"

Kitazumi was a little surprised.

Because he heard about this movie from Hosokawa Shibaizumi.

It seems like this movie is the only movie she failed to audition for this year.

It’s not that Hosokawa Shibaizumi didn’t pass the audition because of his poor acting skills.

But Hosokawa Shibaizumi is not old enough and tall enough.

The filming crew needs a sub-hero who is slightly taller and can stand next to the male protagonist without being obtrusive.

besides.

Kitami Minoru also heard that the original novel "Tokawa Samurai and his Daughter" was very famous and sold very well.

This time, it has received an investment of 1.8 billion yen. It is the only masterpiece with an investment second only to "Swordsman Den" in the same period next year.

Since Hosokawa Shibaizumi can be squeezed out of the quota, Ayumi Adachi's acting skills should not be too bad.

This suddenly made Kitaki Minoru interested.

He glanced at the other person up and down.

He had an idea.

"Humph - now you know how amazing I am, right?"

Sensing Kitami Minoru's gaze, Adachi Ayumi straightened her flat chest.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. Adachi-senpai is really amazing. Speaking of which, has Adachi-senpai's schedule for next year been decided? I'm quite curious about the schedule of a top-notch warrior like Adachi-senpai."

A first-rate servant.

As soon as I heard this word.

Ayumi Adachi was coaxed into a state of ecstasy by Kitazumi.

"Humph, I'll scare you when I say it. My schedule for next year is already full for half a year starting from January. Starting from January, Sakura Station's TV series "Watch the Fireworks" will be filmed. How about it? I'm very excited. Awesome, right?”

Then she stretched out her finger and continued speaking very proudly.

"I even have activities on TV Tokyo's variety show in the evening."

"That's amazing! How much did Senior Anda earn this year? What's the specific tax amount? Did the office help pay the tax?"

"Of course. Wait? Are you trying to trick me into getting information about our office from me?"

Halfway through.

Adachi Ayumi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, her face full of suspicion.

"How could I deceive Senior Adachi? And Senior Adachi is so smart, how could he be deceived by me? I'm just curious about how much a top-notch servant can earn in a year."

"Well, that's true. If I'm so smart, there's no way I could be fooled by you."

Ayumi Adachi nodded and did not continue to doubt Kitumi Minoru.

"." Tamura Koji.

He remained silent until he glanced at Kitumi Minoru, whose face was filled with admiration.

He took another look at Adachi Ayumi, who was chattering non-stop, constantly breaking out explosive news, and was coaxed by Kitazumi Minoru's compliments. She was already a little overwhelmed.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This child is too easy to coax, right?

Is it possible that she hasn't realized that she has been coaxed around by her servant?

You must know that each servant's itinerary basically needs to be kept secret from the outside world.

Some slightly sensitive producers will even ask their subordinates to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Not to mention more private things like personal specific income and the company's help in paying taxes.

He was a little speechless and just wanted to remind Adachi Ayumi.

However, he didn't wait for him to speak.

"Tamura-san, can you please stop watching your servants playing with our servants?"

Tamura Koji followed the sound and looked.

Only then did he realize that the person speaking was a young man wearing a smart suit.

"Ah, it turns out Ume-san, long time no see."

Tamura Koji took the initiative to say hello.

The industry is not too big.

Tamura Koji, who is an AR sub-slayer, and Umeki Ryuhei, Adachi Ayumi's manager, are also acquaintances and have collaborated several times.

but--

"Since we are acquaintances, why do you still let your family's Kitaki Minoru play tricks on my servants?"

Umeki Ryuhei was a little nervous.

He went to the toilet and asked Ayumi Adachi to wait for him outside.

As a result, she couldn't be found when I went out.

Finally found her.

But I saw Ayumi Adachi acting like a mole, leaking out the privacy of her office word by word - she really didn't treat Kitumi as an outsider.

There are many things that you cannot tell others, such as sensitive topics such as how much tax you paid in a year.

Adachi Ayumi didn't hide any of it, she shook it all out.

This made him so anxious that he ran over to prevent his subordinate from further 'revealing the news' - God knows if Kitumi Minoru continued to lie to her, she would sell the entire firm.

"Ah, I'm really sorry."

Tamura Koji coughed dryly.

This was indeed an unkind thing he did.

Mainly because it was the first time he heard the explosive information from other offices.

I was so fascinated that I forgot to stop Kitaki Minoru.

Tamura Koji coughed dryly and apologized.

Umeki Ryuhei didn't say anything more.

He just turned his attention to Adachi Ayumi.

"And Ayumi, don't you know that there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said?"

"Why?"

It wasn't until Umeki Ryuhei took the initiative to remind Adachi that Ayumi realized what stupid thing she had just done.

Not only did he reveal his itinerary to the outsider Kitazumi Minoru.

Like pouring beans out, he told the other party his annual income and tax payment——

Although these are nothing, they are not things that can be disclosed casually.

She couldn't help but glare at Kitumi Minoru.

This guy is such a badass!

And this would be an injustice to Bei Chengshi.

Originally, he was just curious about how much money the top performers in the industry could earn in a year, as well as the company's share of the profits and their tax payments.

After all, the gap between him and a first-class servant is not that big.

Of course I want to ask about the treatment.

And when asked here.

In fact, Kitami Minoru had already planned to stop, and even took the initiative to ask Ayumi Adachi not to continue talking.

As a result, Adachi Ayumi kept breaking the news with an expression of "You don't even know this", and she didn't intend to stop.

That's why it was so embarrassing.

"Anyway, anyway!"

Face flushed, Adachi Ayumi gritted her teeth.

"The two of us will compete against each other for the specific box office of the movies we participated in! Is that okay?"

"That's fine with me, but since we're going to compete, we should also mention the bet, right?"

Kitazumi put forward his own opinion.

"Bet? Are you trying to trick me again?"

"I don't mean that. How about the loser of the bet must obey the winner's request unconditionally?"

"Any request? Beicheng. What do you want to do?"

Ayumi Adachi frowned.

Because I had an experience of being deceived.

She was afraid that she would accidentally fall into Minoru Beicheng's trap again.

"Don't worry, I don't have that idea. Let me think about it. Even if I really win, I will only ask Adachi-senpai to be my friend."

Kitaki thought for a while and gave an example.

"That's it, I understand."

Ayumi Adachi breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just a requirement to be friends.

It's not that I can't agree.

only--

"Say it first, people don't want to be friends with you!"

That's right.

She doesn’t want to be friends with Kitaki Minoru!

You must know that Beicheng Minoru played her around just now.

If you really become friends with this guy.

You might as well be teased in the future!

And the most important thing is——

"I won't lose!"

This time the Tokyo Film Newcomer Award was just an accident!

This time in the box office competition, she had to give her all so as not to lose to Kitumi Minoru.

She wanted to let Kitumi know with her own hands what it felt like to be 'cruel'!

Trick this guy again with what he calls 'unconditionally agree to a request' bet!

This is how to avenge Kitumi for teasing her today.

Adachi Ayumi had even begun to imagine the miserable life that Kitumi Minoru would lead after she won.

When she thought of this, she didn't hesitate. He called Umeki Ryuhei and left.

In order to improve your winning rate. She wants to continue to improve her acting skills!

When the time comes, we must make this guy Kitazumi look good!

And after sending away Ayumi Adachi.

The next thing will naturally become simple.

Kitami Minori and Tamura Koji walked into the banquet hall and found their seats according to the seat numbers given by the organizers of the Tokyo Film Newcomer Awards.

The two of them were eating the cold food platter prepared by the organizer while waiting for the next award ceremony.

What surprised Kitaki Minoru and Tamura Koji.

This time even they didn't take the initiative to say hello.

Many people in the industry at the same table also got to know them.

To be more precise, he got to know Kitazumi Minoru.

This is undoubtedly a good sign.

It shows that through this Tokyo Film Newcomer Award, Kitami Minori's name has begun to spread within the industry.

You must know that in the past, not to mention other people who came up to say hello, most people in the industry didn't even know Kitami Minori and ar Ziyi Training Institute.

I waited like this for about ten minutes.

The emcee who was in charge of presiding over the stage finally appeared.

"We welcome people from all walks of life and the media to come and participate in the Tokyo Newcomer Film Awards tonight."

Those are the words used by this emcee.

First, there is a lot of official talk, naming the Tokyo Newcomer Film Awards, which is organized by the Tokyo Regional Film Association.

How many years has it been in history and how many sessions have been held so far?

Which famous actors have been recognized by this award?

This time we invited some highly respected seniors in the industry to serve as judges.

In short, it is a long piece of eloquent official talk.

This kind of social rhetoric probably lasted more than five minutes.

The audience also applauded symbolically three or four times.

The male emcee who was standing on the stage officially stepped aside and officially entered the ceremony of awarding the award.

Follow a sequence.

The first is the Best Screenplay Award and the winning works.

The winner is a middle-aged screenwriter in the industry who is about forty years old.

After just saying a few words on stage, the other party burst into tears on the stage.

Listen to Koji Tamura's explanation.

It seems that this middle-aged screenwriter has been nominated for this award three times.

It’s just that every year I’m nominated, I lose every year.

No wonder the other party cried directly on stage.

If it were anyone else, in the past three years, every nomination, every expectation, every disappointment would probably have the same reaction as him, right?

The Best Screenplay award is followed by the Best Picture award.

The winning film is still the same film just now.

After all, they have already won the Best Screenplay award, so it is not a problem to win the Best Picture based on the content of the film.

The process continues below.

It is nothing more than a process in which the award recipients come up to the stage one by one to receive the award, and then step off the stage satisfied one by one.

This speed is quite fast.

There was no such person who held a crystal trophy and talked on stage for more than ten minutes and was completely ignorant.

"It will be you soon, right? Beicheng-kun?"

At this moment, the fourth ‘Best Supporting Actor’ award has been introduced on stage.

It’s getting closer and closer to the sixth ‘Best New Actor Award’.

Even knowing that Kitumi Minoru had won the award, it was considered a sure thing.

But Tamura Koji couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

After all, this is the first time Kitumi has won an award.

He will naturally feel nervous, fearing that something unexpected will happen.

However, it is different from Tamura Koji.

Although Kitazumi was looking forward to it, she surprisingly didn't feel nervous.

He nodded as an answer to Tamura Koji.

At the same time, he watched the winners going up and down on the stage.

It was under his gaze.

The emcee announced the next result.

"Next is the winner of the Best New Actor Award, Kitami Minori. The winning work: "Kidnapped Natsuko"."

very good!

Kitaki Minoru perked up.

Finally it's his turn!

Say hello to Tamura Koji.

Against the gaze of everyone present, Kitumi came to the podium.

"Natsuko Nogi, who plays the role of a child, not only establishes the image of a dull and domestically abused person, but can also be said to be very vivid in emotional expression. His acting skills are not inferior to any adult actors!"

This comment undoubtedly gave a very high evaluation to Kitami Minori's acting skills.

You must know that the previous actors only said a few words.

As a result, when Kitaki Minoru came here, his words became much longer.

aware of this.

The well-known producers, directors and actors in the industry below are rarely in high spirits.

They all looked at this young man who was able to receive such high praise from the jury.

But Kitazumi didn't pay attention to their gaze.

He just looked at the trophy carved with artificial crystal that the other party handed over, showing a very satisfied expression.

very good.

Kitaki nodded comfortably.

from now on.

Having this trophy and winning the 'Best New Actor Award' is actually equivalent to having a ticket to be a top actor in the industry.

This started after he received the award.

You can see it from the changes in the expressions of the industry professionals present.

care.

Turn your head and ask for news.

Reach out and applaud.

These are enough to prove that this award is not for nothing.

Very useful indeed.

Next, he just needs to continue to settle.

Make one or two more movies or TV series that have good results.

Then it is basically a certainty that he will become a first-class servant.

Looking at the crystal trophy in his hand.

Beicheng Minoru can be considered satisfied.

Finally got this thing.

So next.

He should rely on "Swordsman Den" to break into the ranks of the top heroes in the industry.

Kitazumi Minoru has not forgotten that today he asked Ayumi Adachi about her annual income.

The average income of top-notch prostitutes in the industry is at least 15 million yen to 20 million yen (excluding tax).

Only by squeezing into the industry of first-rate servants can you really make big money.

He was satisfied.

Holding the trophy, he echoed the emcee and said two or three beautiful words on the stage, and then he came off the stage holding the trophy as if he was enjoying himself.

Next, he and Tamura Koji basically had nothing to do.

They just watched the last three awards process on the stage end.

After chatting for a while with some people from the surrounding industry who came over to congratulate me, I felt familiar, and then I left with satisfaction.

The main thing is not to leave.

The only time Ziyi can work is at 9 o'clock in the evening.

The time now is 8:49.

If it drags on any longer, it will be rare to make a fuss about the 9 o'clock time limit.

After all, the awards ceremony was a mixed bag, and there were media workers among them.

"That's great. Beicheng-kun."

He looked at the trophy held by Minoru Kitazumi and the award certificate in his hand.

Tamura Koji, who had already walked to the underground garage, suggested.

It's really good.

Because from today on, Kita Sumire has transformed from a second-rate actor.

It's not an exaggeration to say that she is quasi-first-rate.

The reason why I use the adjective "quasi-first-rate" is because Kita Sumire has attracted enough attention in the industry, but her popularity outside the industry can only be said to be average.

To be honest. This is the first time that Tamura Koji has encountered such a thing.

Generally, if an actor wants to improve, it is usually the attention of the audience outside the industry that drives his position in the industry.

But Kita Sumire is completely the opposite.

It can be said that she is the biggest dark horse in the industry in the past six months, but her popularity outside the industry is mediocre.

But it's okay.

"The attention of the audience outside the industry is easy to earn. As long as you work hard to shoot every work in the future, you will be able to continue to attract fans. When the number of fans reaches a certain level, you will be able to become a first-rate actor... Huh? Kita Sumire?"

Halfway through, Tamura Koji realized something was wrong.

Why didn't his own Kita Sumire pay any attention to him at all?

Instead, he looked ahead with a slightly surprised expression?

He looked up in a strange way.

Only then did he realize that there was a figure in the underground garage passage ahead.

It was a long-haired girl wearing a white woolen coat and long boots.

Through the light of the underground garage.

Tamura Koji could slightly see the other person's delicate facial features and gentle eyes.

Hmm?

What's going on?

Tamura Koji frowned in a strange way.

Could it be a follower of Kita Chengshi?

This is really possible.

After all, the fanaticism of Kita Chengshi's fans made him a little scared when he saw them, and he felt like he saw a pervert.

But it was already time to get off work.

Still blocking the road and preventing Kita Chengshi from going home to rest... This was a bit too much.

Thinking of this, he frowned and was a little unhappy.

"Hey, the girl over there, is she a fan of Kita Chengjun?"

The girl didn't speak.

This silent attitude made Koji Tamura even more unhappy.

What kind of attitude is this?

Others are asking you questions.

He frowned, stepped forward, and was about to continue talking.

"Tamura-san, please drive the car over."

Kita Sumire, who had not spoken, spoke.

But the content of his words surprised Koji Tamura.

Kita Sumire is just a child.

How could he let her be with a strange girl?

"It's okay, Tamura-san, she and I are acquaintances."

Kita Sumire spoke again.

This sentence dispelled Koji Tamura's doubts.

Since she is an acquaintance of Kita Sumire...

Without hesitation.

He half bowed to the girl to apologize. Then he turned around to get the car.

Accompanied by the sound of his footsteps leaving.

In the cold underground garage.

Silence was restored in an instant.

Kita Sumire looked at the other party.

Looking at her soft eyes.

Then he looked at her face, which had been frozen pale by the cold wind in the underground garage after waiting for who knows how long.

Kitasumi found a place to drop the trophy in his hand and walked over.

Then he took off the scarf from his neck and asked her to half-squat down.

While wrapping it around her, he reached out and touched her cold face.

Kitasumi raised his eyebrows, and his doting tone inevitably carried a hint of blame.

"How did you get into this state? Karin?"

No need to say more.

No need to distinguish too much.

Just one glance.

He recognized the identity of the girl in front of him.

He gently stroked her head.

And looked into Kitasumi's eyes.

Listening to his doting tone as usual.

At this moment.

Nanase Karin, who had been pursuing a result all along, finally couldn't help it.

"Brother Kitasumi!"

Hug Kitasumi tightly.

Just like holding his thin hand in the hospital ward.

Nanase Karin didn't want to think about how difficult it was for her to follow Kita Sumimi's footsteps.

She only had one sentence.

A very simple sentence, but one that she particularly wanted to say to Kita Sumimi.

That was——

"I miss you so much."

The tears in her eyes shone brightly.

Reflecting the girl's joyful and sad, colorful heart.

? A little scary. 5800 words. I'm afraid I really died suddenly. Go to bed first. Goodbye.
